The Boy Scouts of America claims its child abuse prevention program is the best in the country. However, there have been more than 2,000 cases of abuse in the Boy Scouts. Here are some examples.

In 2005, the man who ran that program, Douglas Smith Jr., was sentenced to eight years in a federal prison for trafficking in child pornography on the Internet.

David Watkins, a former Boy Scout leader, has been charged with sodomizing a boy under 13 years of age in his troop.

Scout leader Brett Tayler was charged with more than 30 counts of child molestation and exploitation. He is suspected of molesting at least 10 boys from ages 6-9 years old.

Scout leader Peter Robert Stibal II was sentenced to 21 years for sexually abusing four Scouts from 2003 to 2008 and possessing child pornography.

If such crimes have already come to the light in the Boy Scouts, one must ask why the radical homosexual lobby is determined to force the BSA to allow homosexuals to infiltrate their organization.

I warned America that Canadian Scouts, or CS, decided to allow females, atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals to join its group. In 1999, they approved the establishment of an all-homosexual troop, which now marches in Canada’s “gay pride” parades. Within five years, scouting membership dropped more than 50 percent. Many scouting camps and offices were closed, and the staff was laid off.

As one would expect when the doors to sinful behavior are swung open, sex abuse by leaders in scouting is another tragic consequence (Romans 1:24-27).

Boys who become Scouts to receive a healthy, moral upbringing are instead becoming lifetime victims of criminals who prey on children.

Even worse is the lack of justice these young boys receive. Canada’s epidemic of child sex abuse is largely swept under the rug to protect pederasts.

Brian Rushfeldt, president of Canada Family Action, stated, “The notion that we need to protect homosexuals more than we need to protect children … has been a disturbing trend.”
